Thank you for taking a look at "Propose It! This is a shareware program to help you write proposals. Proposals are used to close sales, win bids and present ideas. They can be used in the public and private sectors. They are also useful for presentations in larger companies. In these files you will find professionally prepared sample text and formats. This is an easy way to make you more successful in a very short time. I have designed these so that you can simply choose appropriate text, fill in a few blanks and in some cases merge some documents. Consider these files as very powerful tools in your sales or marketing strategy.
(This program is also available for PC's and compatibles. Files are in ASCII and WordPerfect 5.1 format. Look for filename "propose.zip".)
"Propose It!" was written by David A. Works, a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
Requirements
Any Mac with a word processing or page layout program will do fine. Ideally, program should have merge capability. If you have Microsoft Word, the files are ready to go and include sample formats, styles, fonts (Helvetica and Times), and some very simple graphics (like boxes). These files are designed for use by those with a basic (not advanced) knowledge of word processing.
List of Files:
The files are in two formats: Text and Word 4.0. If you have Word 4.0, open the "Word" folder and double-click on any document to open it. If you don't have Word, your word processor or page layout program can import all the documents in the "Text" folder. The "Merge" files are generic. They may need to be altered to work with your software package.
Cover Letter
A folder containing a cover letter and a merge file. Use this letter with larger proposals. It isn’t good form to just send out a proposal without a cover letter. People like to know what they are receiving. Includes merge file.
Documentation
A complete manual to walk you through the creation of a professional appearing proposal.
Large Proposals
Folder containing a template for proposing large or more complicated projects. Includes sample merge file.
Letter Proposals
Folder containing templates for proposals in letter form. Also includes an overview template which I have found very useful to include along with a letter proposal to larger companies. Includes sample merge file.
Registration Form
Samples
Some sample proposals in text format - Letter, Large and Cover Letter.
